Episode 3: Art as Climate Activism
Listen now
Description
You may not have realized that art – in its many forms – can be a powerful way to relate to climate change and climate solutions. Climate art can spark a meaningful conversation and inspire us to become more active in the climate movement. In this episode, we talk to two amazing women involved in the new Climate Gallery: Logan Evasco, Program Director, and Mira Musank, garment refashioner and textile waste upcycler. You’ll hear about how they work with art and artists that address the climate crisis. The Climate Gallery is produced as a virtual gallery, available online.  Logan shared: “We need to figure out ways to show people's experience in a clear way. What better venue is there than art?"
